<h1 class="topictitle1">Step 5: (Optional) Configuring Log Backup</h1>
<div><p>If log backup is configured in <a href="en-us_topic_0000001839268545.html">Step 4: Creating a Backup SLA</a>, enable log backup for the SAP HANA database by following the instructions provided in this section for log backup to take effect. Skip this section in other scenarios.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Context</h4><p>The SAP HANA database log backup function provided by the <span>OceanProtect Appliance</span> depends on the log backup capability of SAP HANA. After SAP HANA logs are backed up, they are backed up to the backup storage by the <span>OceanProtect Appliance</span>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Procedure</h4><ol><li><span>Log in to the system database.</span><p><ol type="a"><li>Use PuTTY to log in to the SAP HANA database host.</li><li>Run the following command to switch to the system user:<pre class="screen">su - <em>systemi</em><em>d</em>adm</pre>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre class="screen">su - k00adm</pre>
</li><li>Run the following command to log in to the system database:<pre class="screen">hdbsql -i <em>Instance ID</em> -n <em>Host name of the master node of the system database</em>:<em>SQL Port of the system database</em> -d SYSTEMDB -u <em>Username of the system database</em> -p <em>Password of the system database</em></pre>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre class="screen">hdbsql -i 00 -n localhost:30013 -d SYSTEMDB -u SYSTEM -p xxxxxxx</pre>
</li></ol>
</p></li></ol><ol start="2"><li><span>Enable and configure the log backup function.</span><p><ol type="a"><li>Run the following command to enable SAP HANA database log backup:<pre class="screen">alter system alter configuration ('global.ini', 'SYSTEM') set ('persistence', 'enable_auto_log_backup') = 'yes' with reconfigure;</pre>
</li><li>Run the following command to set the directory for storing log backup copies:<div class="p">Ensure that the usable space of the log backup copy directory is greater than the space to be occupied by all log backup copies.<pre class="screen">alter system alter configuration ('global.ini', 'SYSTEM') set ('persistence', 'basepath_logbackup') = '<em>Directory for storing log backup copies</em>'  with reconfigure;</pre>
</div>
</li><li>Run the following command to set the log backup frequency, that is, the interval for backing up logs:<pre class="screen">alter system alter configuration ('global.ini', 'SYSTEM') set ('persistence', 'log_backup_timeout_s') = '<em>Log backup interval</em><em>(s)</em>' with reconfigure;</pre>
<p>It is recommended that the interval be 50% to 100% of the log backup interval set in <a href="en-us_topic_0000001839268545.html#EN-US_TOPIC_0000001839268545__table2663151516335">Table 1</a>. If the log backup interval is set to 60 minutes in the backup policy, you are advised to set the interval to a value ranging from 30 to 60 minutes.</p>
